President William Ruto and his Cabinet will forego one-month salary to stand with those affected by drought.

This is a very noble gesture that ought to be supported by all Kenyans. The one-month salary the Cabinet will forgo is about Sh22 million. If you compare this to their total worth of Sh15. 4 billion that the CSs declared during their vetting, there is reason to believe the government is not doing much to fight drought.
